My friend wanted to buy a scooter for herself. She has short-listed two scooter with almost same specifications. Honda Activa and Honda Aviator.

So both are the Hondas! Why do we need to compare them! Need less to say, Honda Activa has great sales as compared to average sales of Honda Aviator. Here in Ahmedabad, Honda Aviator has waiting period of 7-15 days while Honda Activa has waiting period of 3 months. People like the look of Honda Activa and I think there is no big difference than look between both of them.

Both Activa and Aviator has same fuel economy, 40-45 kmpl in normal city condition. Price of Honda aviator is ~1,000 more than Activa. Honda Aviator Deluxe is ~5,000 more dearer than Activa.

Honda Activa has tuffup tyres, two layers and fluid in that, which helps when tyres get punctured. Nonetheless, it has fuel talk capacity of 5.3 litre while aviator spots 6 litre fuel tank. Honda Aviator also spots the same tyres.

Honda aviator is lighter in weight than activa and has better quality of suspensions, better mileage and wider tyres compare to Honda Activa.

Difference between Honda Aviator and Aviator DLX – Deluxe
As per dealer, the only difference between Honda Aviator STD and Aviator DLX is that DLX model has front disc brake. DLX model has also got some cosmetic changes like some body parts come with scooter matching color.

Poeple like look of Activa, and Activa is in market since quite long so it has made brand name. On other side Honda Aviator is new in market! Feature wise Honda Aviator is next version of Honda Activa. I think you should go for it.
